Blurb -
"The South African What Flower is That? is a comprehensive and informative reference for anyone who would love to grow his own garden - and house - plants but doesn't know the first thing about them.
More than 1,500 of the annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees and vines most commonly found in South African gardens and parks are easily identified by superb full colour photographs. The accompanying text is brief and to the point, detailing each plant's origin, how, when and where to plant it and even how it can be propagated. Clear, informative symbols tell the reader at a glance of a plant's needs, such as how resistant it is to frost and wind, how much water it requires, whether it is sun or shade loving, and much more.
In 'The South African What Flower is That?' the author has catered for everyone - flat dweller, front step enthusiast and the keen suburban gardener.
The late Professor Kristo Pienaar, former head of the Department of Botany at the University of the Western Cape, was an exuberant, colourful personality who managed to inter-link his hobbies and his work to the joy of flower lovers throughout South Africa. He was an expert on indigenous plants and well known for his talks on radio and successful television programmes. He also wrote 'Grow South African Plants' and 'Gardening with Indigenous Plants', both published by Struik."
